"The emergency operations center is running here at the public safety building," said Denmark. "We have met with our National Grid representative and we are prepared for the anticipated power outages."

School was cancelled for Monday on Sunday night by Interim School Supt. Joseph Connelly. Harvard Town Hall is open for business today, according to Harvard Town Administrator Timothy Bragan.

The Harvard Council on Aging will have no activities on Monday and the scheduled exercise class has been canceled.
